Greetings,

Early morning shave.

Another wonderful shave to finish my shaving week off on a high.

It's been a while since i last used the La Toja duo I really like the fresh clean fragrance. To my nose it reminds me of the Dove bar soap with a masculine edge both the Shave stick & ASL leave a wonderful post shave feel.

The Ninja Stainless blades have performed wonderfully over the last two weeks paired up with my slant bar razors with no dulling or dragging issues.

A very comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report. Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

 

Wonderful pic, lineup, shave and post Barry. Have an awesome afternoon.

 

Thank you, Joe.

 

Reminds me of how my dad laughed hard at hearing a Tom Brokaw news report many years ago. Brokaw said "He was a 45-year-old son of a banker". I laugh now in my dad's absence. . He should have said "Banker's son".

 

Feb 16 SOTA

Good afternoon.

1959 Gillette Fatboy (setting 6)
Gillette Wilkerson Sword DE Blade uses (2 and 3)
MrEE LE #10 Cashmere Brush
Razorock XX SS
Pinaud-Clubman Classic AS
Stirling Alum Block
Beard Growth: 24 hrs
Dome Growth: 2 days



What a great head and face shave I had this afternoon! The Wilkerson Sword blade did an awesome job on my face, neck and head. There were no issues and got a nice and comfortable shave. When I simultaneously do a head and face shave, I count it as two separate shaves on the blade, hence uses number 2 and 3. I had minimal alum feedback and splashing the wonderful Pinaud-Clubman Classic aftershave was a fitting end to this session. Take care.

 

Thank you Joe. The camel bone scales are very nice.

 

SRS # 837 - 3017 Weekdays - Prairie Song

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: C V Heljestrand 14. 7/8” Camel Bone Scales
Brush: Leo Frilot ECWS 2018 Ghost Trails
Lather: Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song
Aftershave: Aqua Velva Musk
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel
Lakewood Soap Company Prairie Song

The final shave with the Prairie Song was no different than all the previous shaves. Just downright fabulous. I now have to decide which soap is up next for the 3017 designation. The two options at the present time are: Lather Bros. Calle Ocho or the Proraso Aloe and Vitamin E (tube). I am leaning towards the Proraso.

Hioe you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Another fine shave with a great Pinaud finish. Well done Joe.

 

Beautiful looking razor.

 

Wonderful looking set up Hogie.

 

Super shave Joe.

Froth:
I wonder if Pam could serve you some froth at our next breakfast.

 

Super shave this morning Barry. I may eventually get a La Toja stick for one of my dens.

 

Terrific Thursday shave and congrats on sinking Prairie Song Jke.

 

Thanks Joe. Pam can serve me anything on Zona's menu.

 

Thanks Joe. I am very impressed with the Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade.

 

SE Shave # 309

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Enders Speed
Blade: Schick Pro-line B-20
Brush: Sawdust Creation Studio Old Cahaba
Lather: Proraso Green
Aftershave: Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus
Additional Care:
Omega Alum
Dickenson’s Original Witch Hazel

Given the above average temperatures here on LI this February I decided to go with the invigorating scent and cooling feel of the Proraso Green. I was rewarded with a close and refreshing shave assisted by the Enders Speed razor.

Hope you all have a great day gentlemen.

 

Thank you Joe
